英文简介:
A lonely shopkeeper takes it upon herself to solve a murder in the most peculiar way in this captivating mystery by Jesse Q.
Sutanto, bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties.
Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady–ah, lady of a certain age–who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco’s Chinatown.
Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no.
She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to.
Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing–a dead man in the middle of her tea shop.
In his outstretched hand, a flash drive.
Vera doesn’t know what comes over her, but after calling the cops like any good citizen would, she sort of .
.
.
swipes the flash drive from the body and tucks it safely into the pocket of her apron.
Why? Because Vera is sure she would do a better job than the police possibly could, because nobody sniffs out a wrongdoing quite like a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands.
Vera knows the killer will be back for the flash drive; all she has to do is watch the increasing number of customers at her shop and figure out which one among them is the killer.
What Vera does not expect is to form friendships with her customers and start to care for each and every one of them.
As a protective mother hen, will she end up having to give one of her newfound chicks to the police?
中文简介:
杰西·Q·苏坦托 (Jesse Q. Sutanto) 是畅销书《为阿姨拨通电话》的作者，在这部引人入胜的悬疑小说中，一位孤独的店主以最奇特的方式解决了一起谋杀案。
Vera Wong 是一位孤独的小老太太——啊，上了年纪的女士——住在旧金山唐人街中心她那家被遗忘的茶馆楼上。
尽管独自生活，维拉并不需要，哦不。
她最喜欢的莫过于啜饮一杯好喝的乌龙，并在互联网上做一些健康的侦探工作，了解她的 Z 世代儿子在做什么。
然后一天早上，维拉艰难地下楼，发现一件奇怪的事——她的茶馆中间有一个死人。
在他伸出的手中，一个闪存驱动器。
维拉不知道自己怎么了，但在像任何好公民一样报了警之后，她有点…… . .从身上抽出闪存驱动器并将其安全地塞进围裙的口袋里。
为什么？因为维拉确信她会比警察做得更好，因为没有人能像多疑的中国母亲那样嗅出不法行为，因为她手头有时间。
维拉知道凶手会回来拿闪存盘；她所要做的就是观察她店里越来越多的顾客，并找出其中一个是凶手。
维拉没有想到的是与她的顾客建立友谊并开始关心他们中的每一个人。
作为一只保护母鸡，她最终会不得不把一只新发现的小鸡交给警察吗？
